Col. A. K. Mcclure advocat IS
the abolition of the conferree system
in the Philadelphia Times as follows:
1.-The new Congressional apportion-
ment gives both political parties in
this State an excellent opportunity to
escape from the evils of the Doodle
conferree system of nominating cam
didates for Congress. Only four of
the districts composed of more than
one county are identical with districts
existing under the old apportionment,
and to retain the conferree system,
with its equal county representation
and rotation features, would be to
create new antagonisms wherever one
or more counties have been brought
into a group in place of others de-
tached for addition to new districts.
1t is most auspicious time for the
adoption of the popular convention
system with the party vote as the
basis of representation, in every coun-
ty in the State. The larger con-
vention is the nearer it is to the peo-
pie whom it represents, bat it must
steer clear of being unwieldy and must
therefore be small enough to make it
easy to preserve order and to prevent
fraud and mobocracy. A system of
Congressional rules, under which each
County Convention would be entitled
to choose one delegate for every 250
votes polled by its party in the coun-
ty at the last preceding Presidential
or Gubernatorisl election, would give
the composite districts popular but
not bulky conventions of from 80 -
80 delegates each. Representation
according to party vote would be
iuster in the abstract than representa-
tion according to population regardless
of party, but the evils of the corrupt
ing conferree system are too grave to
admit of pig beadedness on the part of
those who would reform it out of ex-
istence. If the population or town
ship basis will be adopted by some
districts that will not adopt the party
vote basis, encourage them to adopt
it. The main thing is to do away
with the machine conferee system"

naming children to Billings, Mo.
She is survived by her husband, three

An Extra Session.

The mishap to the Revenue bill
passed by the late Legislature has
created even greater trouble than at
frst supposed. The bill is useless
and cannot be signed by the Cover
nor. because it was not signed by the
officers Of the Senate. The mistake,
or crime, whichever itmay be, to have
it properly signed was not discovered
until the Legislature had adjourned
An effort is being made to lay the
blame for this hefeat in the bill upon
the shoulders of mere message clerk
But this is "too thin" as the saying is.
The message clerks duty was per-
formed when be delivered the bill
from the House to the proper officers
of the SeLat,, and it was the duty of
the Senate officers to sign it. The
Constitution and the laws do not rec
ognize or speak Of the mere message
clerk in the matter, but they do speak
Of presiding officers in the matter OF
signing bills
Governor Beaver is now compelled
to veto many appropriations because
of want of funds to pay them. This
has raised cry for an extra session
of the Legislature to cure the matter.
The Governor refuses to call an extra
session and an effort is made to force
him. The Philadelphia Times has
telegraphed inquiries to all the mem
bers, asking il they are willing to re-
turn and serve without pay IN order
to have the bill repassed. A large
number have responded their will
inpness to do so. But some make
answer, that it was no fault OF the
members, but was the fault of the Of
ficers of the Senate, and therefore, pay
should follow if they have to return.
It seems to us that if the matter was
traced to where the fault lies, and
then punish the guilty ones it would
be more sensible and right. AS the
bill taxed corporations and relieved
the people of taxes strong suspicion
prevails that improper influences have
purposely caused this mischief.

Death of Judge Mercur.

Hon. Ulysses Mercur, Chief Justice
Of the Supreme Court of this STATE
died at the residence of his son near
Philadelphia on Monday last. he
wss taken i'll short time before ou'
hopes had been entertained of his re-
ccvery, and his death was unexpected :.
While there may have been more orii.
liant Chief Justices on the bencn OF
the Supreme Court there were none
that surpassed Judge Mercur in soma
learning and ability. His distinguish :.
ing reputation was for good, practlcai
common-sense. Added to this was
patience and industry in his labors'
and a pentleness in discharging them,
that made him a great favorite with
the Bar of the State.
His term of Office would have ex'
pired on the first of January next,
and he was candidate for reelection
which his death now ends. The
Governor has the filing of the vacan'
cv for his unexpired term, but as the
Republican State Convention may
soon be held, to place in nomination a
candidate for that Office, it is thought
the Governor will not make an ap'
nointment until the Convention meets
and names its choice among the candl'
dates proposed; the Governor may then
appoint said choice for the remainder
of Judge Mercur's term. This would
avoid any prestage or advantage an
appointee of the Governor would
have over other candidates for the
nomination.

LONDON, April 9th.-In English politics
there is still little to mention beyond the
extension of the anticoercion campaign.
Churchill will address several meetings IN
support of coercion. Harrington will also
speak in public. Gladstone's next mani
festo will take the form of a speech at
dinner of the Eighty Club on the 10Th in
slant
The Morning POST demands this
morning that the Monday meeting at
Hyde Park, which is intended as an anti
coercion demonstration, be suppressed. 1t
is apparent on its face the intention OF
reckless Parliamentary minority to use II
as an instrument of menace TO the SUI
supremacy of Parliament. 1t can only be
by some unfortunate technicality that such
meetings can escape being called treason
able.
The Ulster Land Committee yesterday
decided against all the provisions of the
Land bill except the clauses relating Ito
leases. In this Ulster agrees with the
National League. The Economist
from another point of view, has hardly
words sufficient with which to express it's
detestation of the measure, saying it is
fatally based on false principles, and it in
augurates a game in beggary which can
never be passed by Parliament. The
Spectator" sees in the bill clear evidence
that the landed interest has been thrown
overheard by the Conservatives.
An Irish Conservative land owner writes
as follows: "A bill more fatal to landlords
was never drafted than that which Cardi-
gan has introduced into the House of
Lords. The Government will fail in car
rying the Coercion bill, but the Land bill
will be contributOry to the Home Rule
